Personally‚ I do not believe everything I watch or hear‚ I usually check with the other sources and historical documents and above all I go with my own God given judgement.

She would always tell us where she wanted to go but never had a valid plan or followed through with anything she said she would do and as a result we never believed her. It wasn’t until a couple of years ago when she studied abroad in England and is currently living in China. When someone is frequently telling you what they are
